Africa you left us orphaned

Africa, you had all the good people of 20th century die for you. You stood helplessly, indifferent and apathetic to the sacrifices made by our magnanimous people, who fought gory wars, not for something they wanted but for something they had, but were deprived of; freedom.

They wanted to get over the walls of colonialism, freed from chains of slavery. They wanted an opportunity where their posterity would have equal opportunities, when a blind would see a generation of prosperity, when a lame would jump in ululation of celebration of culmination of democracy, where a Muslim would read the gospel of fair opportunities in governmental allocations.
